PreEmptive Protection Tackles Top Developer Compliance Complaints

May 7, 2019 2587 Views Erica Kurfis

Developers cite compliance cost, complexity, and confusion as slowing innovation and impeding competitive goals. With the latest Dotfuscator and DashO releases, PreEmptive Protection dramatically improves developer productivity, automation, and scalability.

Seattle, WA. Microsoft Build Conference, May 7, 2019 - PreEmptive announced today the immediate availability of Dotfuscator Professional 4.41 and DashO 10.0 Beta. These updates to the PreEmptive Protection suite reduce initial protection configuration effort by 90% and offer complete automation of many of the most sophisticated runtime controls entirely. In a just-completed developer survey incorporating responses from over 315 organizations, 77% reported that “confusion around regulatory requirements slows innovation” while 71% stated that “the cost and complexity of compliance” is making it harder to compete.

Development organizations must find ways to meet complex privacy and compliance requirements even as they are under increasing pressure to deliver high quality, innovative features across platforms and devices.

“These releases demonstrate PreEmptive’s commitment to deliver powerful app and data security controls without unnecessary development overhead or an army of consultants.“ – Gabriel Torok, CEO PreEmptive

Dotfuscator Professional 4.41 offers an entirely new way of configuring and integrating Dotfuscator into automated build environments - installed on-demand, activated as part of the build, and run the same way as it is in development. The result is a 90%+ reduction in time and effort required to configure and integrate Dotfuscator into your preferred pipeline. “While these tools improve any CI build, they really shine with dynamic build agents - build agents that are provisioned on-demand - like in Azure Pipelines," said Nathan Arthur, Engineering VP, PreEmptive.

Dotfuscator 4.41 includes:

  • A NuGet package that can be deployed into a private artifact repository (e.g. Azure Artifacts) and dynamically installed via nuget install,
  • Dynamic licensing via a new "Floating" license model combined with flexible Dotfuscator activation options using command line arguments, environment variables, or MSBuild properties, and
  • A separately-released Azure Pipelines extension.

Another major innovation, Dotfuscator Visual Studio project file integration, further reduces time away from building new features and fixing bugs and supports all project types including Xamarin and early versions of Blazor and .NET Core 3.

“Taken together, these enhancements typically reduce configuration and implementation efforts by over 90%.” – William Leach, CTO, PreEmptive

DashO 10.0 Beta is the first application hardening solution to fully leverage R8, Google’s recently introduced Android app shrinker. R8 replaces ProGuard, an earlier shrinker and obfuscator. DashO 10.0 is currently in beta and is distributed with a Go Live license.

“DashO 10.0 takes a typical migration from ProGuard from hours to just a few minutes.” William Leach, CTO, PreEmptive

In addition to obfuscation transformation algorithms, DashO Android Mode also offers:

  • Tamper detection and defense,
  • Rooted device detection and response,
  • Anti-debugger controls,
  • Emulator detection and response, and
  • Anti-hooking controls.

Whether mobile, desktop or cloud, PreEmptive Protection’s powerful application and data protection controls can be implemented without any dependency on third-party APIs, changes to application source code or even a connection to a network.

“PreEmptive’s post-compile injection capabilities are also ideally suited to generate auditable logs and to meet specific offline requirements from organizations like the PCI Council and general guidelines from regulations like GDPR,” concluded Sebastian Holst, CSO, PreEmptive.

Protecting Java applications that use Jackson for JSON



JSON is a standard format for sharing objects and data within an application. When working in Java, there is no built-in support for JSON processing. There are, however, several widely-used libraries and options to choose from. In this article, we will focus on Jackson, which is one of the most popular.

Inventa, a Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO

The Beginnings of Inventa

Having worked in the wireless mobile technology domain in the US, Anand Virani, became intrigued by the growing tech and wireless trends and wanted to explore the field more for himself. He noticed a boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) and that smartphones were becoming more central to how people interacted with each other at home, in the office, and in public places. What if there was a way phones could connect with each other without the need for Internet or cloud access? Smartphones were the future and Virani was determined to make a profitable business model based on this new trend.

Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator



Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator

How It All Started

How is flying a fighter plane similar to performing neurosurgery? They have more in common than you’d think. In 2005, Monty Avisar and Alon Geri, two Israeli fighter pilots were assigned to work with Lockheed Martin to build a $50 million F-16 Flight Simulator program for the Israeli Air Force to improve hand-eye coordination skills for their pilots during combat. Avisar took on the role of project manager and Geri served as senior engineer; the project was a success.

Four years later in 2009, the two finished their military service in Israel and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Their experience working in virtual reality applications inspired them to wonder where this technology could also be applied. With several connections to surgeons, the two came to understand the ins and outs of operation procedures; in a similar way, surgeons were also working on a battlefield. What if surgeons could also train like fighter pilots and preview their surgical procedure, much like a fighter pilot could pre-fly their mission? The surgeons could pre-plan the operation from every angle and every approach to increase their situational awareness. And a year later, Surgical Theater was born.

Integrating DashO into a Maven Build



Maven is perhaps the most widely-used project management tool for Java. Based on the Project Object Model (POM), it is used not only for compilation of source code, but also dependency management, documentation, running tests, packaging, deployment, and more. We are frequently asked if we have a Maven plugin for running DashO. Though we do not offer a specific Maven plugin, adding DashO to your Maven-based project is surprisingly easy by leveraging Ant.
